Two cases of urinary tract infection caused by Propionimicrobium lymphophilum

Abstract

The first case reports involving Propionimicrobium lymphophilum, a rarely encountered anaerobic Gram-positive non-sporeforming rod, are presented here as urinary tract infections. Initial detection of these bacteria required urine Gram stains. Comparison of the type strain to the two isolates by various methods is depicted and includes antimicrobial susceptibility data.
